Ah yes, bugs.txt; I should read it before I post...

I don't think that is necessary. Sometimes the best ideas are fresh
ones.<br>

Do you know of any (good) free profilers? I had Jprobe for a bit at
work, but I can't afford it for home use.

What kind of profiling are you interested in? JCoverage profiles
coverage. With it you can see how many times a method is hit.<br>

<pre wrap="">Another problem I have and I think Random J. User will have is that the
first search seems to promise that there will be a result after the
index is built. But no, they have to submit the search again.

Oh, yes, I forgot about that one..

<pre wrap="">Also, I once got frustrated with the indexing (when it was really slow)
and killed it. It left junk on my machine, and the program thought it
had a valid index. The only way I could fix the problem was to delete
the index. I had to read the code to determine where it was and what it
was called.

This has happened to me once before too. I've also had a problem with
corrupt search indexes *after* generation. I never got to the bottom
of why though.

Also had the problem with an interrupted download. I don't know if it
is worth it to build to a temporary location on the same disk and
rename at the end. Or have a state file which is present after a
successful download or index generation.<br>
